Excel Advanced Report Development Review by J. Evans
Better have an SQL server installed on your computer...
This is a great book. I had no idea that Excel could do so much. Now that I know, I prefer to make reports in Excel than struggle to perform the same tasks in Access. My life is much simpler now!
There is one downside. Throughout the book the author makes use of a sample database in Access called "Northwinds". In order to follow along with the examples you have to: (1) have an SQL server program installed on you computer, (2) know how to configure it to access a remote server and import the Northwinds data. Failing that, you're going to need someone who is an SQL database administrator who can do it for you. Without this capability you're going to have trouble following the examples in the book.
